From Lately, 10:30 pm on 5 May 2021

NSW has recorded one new locally acquired COVID-19 infection and expects more cases to be confirmed. Authorities believe the man, who has not been vaccinated, has been infectious since Friday.  NSW chief health officer Kerry Chant said he had not been overseas or worked in Sydney's hotel quarantine system so authorities were keeping an open mind while working to find the source of the infection. There is an expectation more cases will be confirmed. What does it mean for New Zealanders travelling between the two nations... Epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker  from Otago University's school of public health is with us
